8 Times Non-Telugu Heroines Surprised Us By Dubbing For Their Roles

These days, the top heroines of Telugu cinema are mostly imported from other languages. We have accepted the fact that we cannot get to listen to our favourite heroine’s voice in any movie that they would appear in their lifetime. Since most of these actresses cannot speak Telugu, they have in place a dubbing artist for themselves and that makes them sound more bubbly and appealing to us. But, some of our heroines wanted to give us more. They wanted to prove their mettle as complete actors by dubbing for their characters as well. And yes, there have been quite a good number of heroines who took this up seriously. Here is a list of those heroines who’ve taken this challenge and proved to us that they are serious about Telugu Cinema.

Charmy Kaur – Rakhi

Guess it is the motivation from Krishna Vamsi. He let Charmy dub for her role in the movie ‘Chakram’ and she completely justified her role, (though it was a bit too loud). Later, Krishna Vamsi had Charmi dub for Kajal’s role in ‘Chandamama’. Her voice added a lot of gravity to Kajal’s role then.

Priya Anand – Leader

The NRI actress who debuted opposite to Rana Daggubati impressed everyone with her chirpy role in ‘Leader’. Not many of us are actually aware that Priya also dubbed for her role in this movie. She received good appreciation for her role as an actor and for her dubbing as well.

Tapsee Pannu – Mr. Perfect & Mogudu

For any given role, Tapsee Pannu is a confident actor without doubt. So, obviously when she was assigned the dubbing task, she took it up with zeal. Though she faltered a bit with the slang and fluency she was supposed to have in Mr. Perfect, we can say that it was passable. A decent attempt it was for a non-Telugu speaking girl.

Nitya Menen – Ala Modalaindhi

We all know that Nitya Menen is an excellent actor and a singer. And yes, for the non-Telugu heroine that she is, her dubbing skills should be recognized and appreciated as well. She not only dubbed for her role in 'Gundejari Gallanthaiyindhi' but also for Isha Talwar's role as well. What more can be said about this bundle of talent. Perfect with the fluency and slang.

Nayantara – Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum

Nayantara has somehow managed to stay in the limelight inspite of a few obstacles that came her way at different circumstances. Balancing Telugu and Tamil movies, Nayan was cast opposite to Rana Daggubati in ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’. As a journalist, she fit the bill and excelled in dubbing for her role.

Rakul Preet Singh – Nanaku Prematho

The Punjabi actress who currently looks to be leading among the ladies in Telugu cinema was picked by Sukumar for his family drama with NTR Jr. Rakul who plays NTR Jr’s love interest not only lived up to the mark in the acting department, but also in the dubbing department. This was the first movie she dubbed for herself and we must applaud her for her efforts.

Tamannaah Bhatia – Oopiri

The latest to join this bandwagon of heroines who dubbed for their own characters is Tamannaah. After making a number of attempts, Tamannaah dubbed for her role in ‘Oopiri’. As a secretary to Nag, she was in her elements as usual and hearing her out in her own voice was an additional treat for all her admirers.
